Amyris Brands Celebrate Earth Month

Founded in 1970, Earth Month and Earth Day (celebrated on April 22 each year since) is recognized by over one billion people across the planet as the birth of the modern environmental movement. The official theme for Earth Month 2023 is “Invest In Our Planet.” With an emphasis on engaging governments, institutions, businesses, and citizens around the globe to do their part, this year’s theme reminds us, “everyone accounted for, everyone accountable.”

At Amyris, two of our clean beauty brands, Biossance and JVN, kicked-off Earth Month by partnering with conservation organizations that share our commitment to influencing policy decisions and putting people and planet over profit:

Biossance: “We’ve teamed up with Oceana, the world’s largest policy-focused marine conservation organization. Oceana has scored key victories for sharks by convincing lawmakers to ban shark fin trade in the US and working with governments worldwide to reduce ocean plastics. You can support their work by donating to Oceana directly, or by making a round-up donation during checkout on our website.”

JVN: “Health for hair and health for the planet! From our clean formulations to our sustainable packaging and environmental partnerships, focusing on the planet is in our DNA. We’re excited to share that 1% of all net sales from Pre-Wash Scalp Oil goes toward select organizations that focus on environmental initiatives through 1% For The Planet.”
